Global competition, volatile raw material and energy prices, fluctuating demand, and vulnerable supply chains present real challenges for the metalworking industry.
If you don’t know in real time where materials, tools, and costs stand, you risk expensive downtime.
This is precisely where we come in. With deep expertise in complex manufacturing processes, parts lists, formulas, and coupled production, we develop scalable IT solutions that are precisely tailored to your requirements.
Whether in series production with variant logic, in process production with formulas, or in real-time metallurgical process monitoring, we bring your workflows, data, and systems together on one platform so you can continue to manufacture precisely, flexibly, and competitively in the future.
Use AI-driven algorithms for precise demand planning and automated reordering.
Efficiently manage long-term supplier relationships and trigger orders automatically as required – taking tiered pricing, batch sizes, and contract terms into account.
Integrate environmental and social criteria into your procurement processes – from ESG assessment and documentation to the selection of suitable partners.
Analyze the quality, punctuality, and price development of your suppliers. This enables you to make informed purchasing decisions and further optimize your procurement.

Maintain full visibility of material movements, alloy proportions, and metal values at all times, including integration into traceability, swarf accounts, and sustainability KPIs.
Manage your coils and reels centrally, transparently, and in batches with integration into residual length management, serial numbers, MES systems, and real-time data capture via scanners or RFID.
Make economical use of leftover material. Available remaining lengths can be intelligently integrated into your production planning or returned via swarf accounts.
Track every component seamlessly across incoming goods, warehouse, production, and dispatch. Optimize returns processes and reduce transport routes.
Control your material flows precisely in line with production cycles – with automated call-offs and correct sequence provisioning.
Automatically calculate all relevant charges at the line-item level.
Whether in individual or series production, with planned by-products, or with complex formulations, we support your production processes and enable real-time production control through MES integration.
Whether standard product or customized solution: with well-designed variant logic and series management, you retain control over parts lists, work plans, and production processes, even if they change during development.
Ensure that every batch meets the exact required specifications through intelligent alloy tracking from goods receipt to finished product.
Monitor and control your processes in real time. With production simulation, you can identify critical capacity utilization, material bottlenecks, and time conflicts before they arise; with predictive maintenance and sensor-based monitoring of runtime, temperature, and wear, you can avoid downtime.
Manage your production orders centrally using graphical control centers and scheduling boards, and optimize capacity utilization and throughput times.
Automatically calculate your production costs, from machine and setup times to travel costs and special expenses. Also compare planned and actual values using various parameters.
Combine all project-relevant processes in one central system – from quotes and orders to invoices, notes, and files.
Manage your projects across schedules and responsibilities, including progress control and resource utilization.
Plan project budgets precisely and keep cash flows under control at all times with integrated cash flow monitoring.
